How The “Dumbo Effect” Kills Entrepreneurs

by Christine Kominiak on November 8, 2010

Let me tell you about the elephant man.

No… not from the movie.

The OTHER elephant man.

Basically, there was this guy who really wanted to be a home based entrepreneur.  He had a family he never saw due to slaving away at his 9-5 job each day.  He commuted 2 hours to and from work (4 hours total).  And, to make matters worse, he was always afraid of being laid off.

So he decided to find a home based business.

But, he didn’t want to do anything until he was “ready.”

So he started going to night college to take business and marketing
classes.  He did that for a few years, seeing even LESS of his
family.  And when he graduated from there, he decided he was
“ready.”

He had all kinds of ideas.

Lots of book smarts about business.

And had even graduated at the top of his class.

So he went forth to find a home business to join.

Eventually, he found one.

But a funny thing happened.

None of his fancy business education made any difference.

In fact, he never even USED anything he learned.

And it kind of saddened him.

He wasted all that time and money going to school, when he already
had everything he needed (the right mindset and goals) to do the
business.

He was sort of like “Dumbo.”

Ever see that movie as a kid?

Dumbo the elephant in the cartoon only thought he could fly when he
held the so-called “magic feather.”  But, in reality, he already
had what it took to fly without the feather.

And it was the same with this guy.

(Thus, they called him the elephant man.)

All that extra education did was hold him BACK.

Waste more time and money.

And was like a crutch he didn’t need.

Listen, chances are you already have what it takes to be successful
in your own home based business or you wouldn’t be reading my
posts.

Throw the feather away.

Get started.

And go after your dreams.

If you don’t do it now, when will you?
